self-capacityn.

Brit.

/ˌsɛlfkəˈpasᵻti/, U.S.

/ˌsɛlfkəˈpæsədi/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: self- prefix, capacity n.

Etymology: < self- prefix + capacity n.

1. Capacity within oneself to do something; personal power or ability. Also: an instance of this.

2. In an electrical conductor (esp. a coil): = self-capacitance n.

1909 U.S. Patent 918,866 2/1 The connections from the associated conductor to earth at a plurality of points serve to cause said associated conductor to act as a conductor of practically no resistance and of practically no self-capacity and of practically no self-induction.

1958 Pract. Wireless 34 22/2 This was found to be essential since the timebase was affecting the appearance of the trace due to the self-capacity of the X switch.

2003 S. Hamilton Analog Electronics Compan. ii. xi. 145 The high dielectric constant also means that the self-capacity of a coil wound directly on the ferrite will be increased.
